Hey folks...
I've definitely been on a like two week hiatus. It's so hard to stay on top of blogging with my travel schedule so crazy right now. However, I've been doing some hard thinking about the blog and think I'm going to go into the direction of fashion and beauty, but I will still keep my Throwback Thursday and also do some posts about new music I'm feeling as well. I'll be taking the next week or so to really define the direction and purpose, but I'll get it there.. and it will still be A Fly Girl's World :)
Love, Peace and Blessings!

Rocking My Red Pumps...
In honor of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, my girl KB and fellow blogger Luvvie have birthed The Red Pump Project, an initiative to help educate and promote awareness about the virus. If you notice, the red pump widget in my sidebar, myself and 95 female bloggers have joined the cause to show our support and help to make a difference. We are often oblivious to how this disease affects our communities, until it hits home. It's important that we create dialogue and read up on how the disease if affecting those around us. Below are a few statistics that I found shocking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*The largest number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses during recent years was for women aged 15–39
*HIV the leading cause of death for black women (including African American women) aged 25–34 years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can visit the The Red Pump Project site above as well as the Center for Disease Control's website to find more information regarding statistics pertaining to HIV/AIDS. Let's make sure we continue to wrap it up and that we know our status. And ladies, as much as we want to depend on the fellas to be carrying protection, it's always best that you have your own on deck.
KB and Luvvie will be hosting The Red Pump Happy Hour this evening. Details below.
